Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) was described by Friedrich Hayek as "Germany's greatest philosopher of freedom." Humboldt wrote a path-breaking defense of the minimal state which had a profound influence on John Stuart Mill. Humboldt later became Director of the Section for Public Worship and Education, in the Ministry of Interior. In this capacity, he directed the reorganization of the Prussian public education system, and, in particular, founded the University of Berlin.

Hope College launches its volleyball season on Labor Day weekend by playing four matches at the 10-team Elmhurst, Ill. Invitational.
On Friday, Aug. 29 the Flying Dutch will meet Carthage, Wisc. (4 p.m. CT) followed by a match against Transylvania, Ky. (6 p.m. CT). Saturday matches will pit Hope against host Elmhurst (10 a.m. CT) and Coe, Iowa (noon CT).
The Flying Dutch will make their home debut on Tuesday, Sept. 9 against Saint Mary's.
With a strong core of returning players, the Flying Dutch will be seeking to maintain the momentum of a string of successful seasons. In four seasons under coach Becky Schmidt, the Flying Dutch have averaged 24 victories a year. The 2007 Flying Dutch posted a 24-9 record, finishing second in the MIAA.
The 10-team varsity is built around eight returning letterwinners, including five starters from a year ago. There are no freshmen on the varsity. Rounding out the team are five sophomores, three juniors and two seniors.
Co-captains of the team are junior Andrea Helminiak of Maumee, Ohio (Anthony Wayne HS) and senior Nora Slenk of Holland, Mich. (Holland Christian HS). Last season Slenk was voted to the All-MIAA first team while Helminiak received second team honors. The team's setter, Helminiak was twice named the MIAA specialty player of the week. She ranked second in the MIAA in assists, averaging 12.76 assists per game. She also ranked among the nation's Division III leaders (38th at 11.58 assists per game overall). Slenk was honored as an MIAA player of the week.
Sophomore Kara Vande Guchte of Hamilton, Mich. (Hamilton HS) had an outstanding first collegiate season. She was chosen the MIAA's freshman player of the year and received All-MIAA second team honors. She led the MIAA in hitting percentage. Vande Guchte also received All-MIAA honors in track & field as an outstanding sprinter/hurdler.
Other returning letterwinners include junior Teresa Borst of Zeeland, Mich. (Zeeland East HS), sophomore Cassidy Bulthuis of Nunica, Mich. (Spring Lake HS), sophomore Sara DeWeerdt of Holland, Mich. (Hamilton HS), junior Kristen Johnson of Naperville, Ill. (Wheaton Academy) and senior Meghan Winer of Ada, Mich. (Forest Hills Central HS).
The NCAA has adopted three rule changes for the 2008 season - the term "game" will be replaced with "set," all but fifth sets (which go to 15 points or until a team leads by two points after a tie at 14-all) will be trimmed from 30 points to 25, and the number of rotations per set will be dropped from 15 to 12.

The base of the Rocky Mountains set the stage for Cambridge Investment Research's Premier Club Conference on Monday, a gathering of the broker-dealer's top producing reps. Despite the scenic Colorado view, the meeting began on a somber note, as chairman and CEO Eric Schwartz eulogized marketing and recruiting head Jim Guy, who died April 5 after a brief illness.
"Jim's death was a shock to us all," Schwartz said in halting tones. "He was a great friend, a great partner and a great advisor."
Schwartz noted that even though Guy served at the senior executive level, he continued to operate his independent advisor practice.
"When he moved his practice to us, it was not only the largest we had at the time, it represented 10% of our GDC," Schwartz recounted of the firm's early years. "He started with two people in the marketing department, and we have 75 people in marketing today."
"He was building Cambridge to be even better after he was gone, which is my vision as well."
Schwartz then moved into a discussion of what he called "the good stuff" happening at the firm. Among the points he cited:
- Fees and commissions—It's almost a 50-50 split as to incoming revenue from each, although he noted it was "a little more fee." He added that it positions the advisors well, and far from shying away from commissions, he believes they are just as effective as fees "as long as the advisor is acting in an ethical manner."
- Senior management—He noted that he and Guy had begun working on a succession plan three years before Guy's death. "We wanted to have a team in place when Jim decided to step down, and not have to scramble to bring someone in from the outside." Schwartz also revealed that he has begun transferring his stock to other managers in the form of ESOP plans to retain staff and ensure the firm's continuity and philosophy. This will mean that "in 15 years or so," his ownership in the firm will be reduced from its current 89% to 51%.
- Financials—More and more reps want to see that the firm is financially stable, especially since so many smaller firms are in trouble.
- Diversification of advisors—This extends to the type of business model they employ, as well as the products they sell.
- Succession planning—"We want to be a leader in the industry when it comes to succession planning funding and expertise," Schwartz said. "Succession planning allows you to be better today."
- Customization and flexibility—The top six or seven firms will have 80% of the market in 10 or 15 years, he predicted. "I talk to smaller firms all the time that are worried if they can survive. Our customization capabilities and our flexibility are a differentiating factor for us."
- Technology—"Our technology is highly rated, but that's not why advisors come to us. Technology is a 'must-have.' They come to us because of our culture."
- Private ownership—Referencing the firm's rival, Commonwealth Financial Network, he said only they have an ownership structure similar to Cambridge, and that he looks forward to the day "they sell to AIG or some such company." But he added it's unlikely that will happen any time soon, which is okay, because the "friendly rivalry makes us both better."
Schwartz then moved to a discussion of the industry's big trends.
"The trend toward fees is increasing and will continue to increase. Again, we are not opposed to fees or commission. The advisor can use either as long as they are acting in an ethical manner."
He added that if attendees in the audience are thinking the regulatory burden for advisors couldn't possibly get heavier, they would be wrong.
"Whether the markets go up or down, there always seems to be the need for more regulation," Schwartz wryly noted.
He then pointed to the industry's transformation from a cottage industry to a major industry as it gains more revenue and acceptance, and listed some of the things the firm must do to keep getting better. These included:
- Maintaining and enhancing the independent ownership structure, culture, integrated technology and service at the firm.
- Succession and acquisition—"Selling is what you do when you have no plan."
- Helping advisors achieve their unique vision.
He concluded by listing in rapid-fire succession (for Schwartz) the things advisors must do to stay relevant and grow their businesses.
"You have to see the big trends and get out in front of them. Once you see them, don't repeat the same behavior over and over again; rather, adapt to the trends. Know yourself and do what you do (and love) best). Realize that no one is successful alone. As I heard Ron Carson once say, 'Culture trumps strategy and culture plus strategy trumps all.' Build something bigger than you. And lastly, live long and prosper."

SUMMARY: Cartridge
Quantity in stock: 0
Flow dividers are sliding-spool, pressure-compensated devices used to split oil flow to two different branches of a circuit in a designated ratio. These valves are suitable for applications that use the following: unidirectional hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders where flow division in one direction only is required, and multiple circuits that are serviced from one pump supply.
- All flow divider and divider/combiner cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Operating characteristics cause the leg of the circuit with the greatest load to receive the higher percentage of flow in dividing mode. If a rigid mechanism is used to tie actuators together, the lead actuator may pull the lagging actuator and cause it to cavitate.
- In applications involving rigid mechanisms between multiple actuators, operating inaccuracy will cause the eventual lock-up of the system. If the mechanical structure is not designed to allow for the operating inaccuracy inherent in the valve, damage may occur.
- In motor circuits, rigid frames or mechanisms that tie motors together, and/or complete mechanical synchronized motion of the output shaft of the motors, either by wheels to the pavement or sprockets to conveyors, will contribute to cavitation, lock-up and/or pressure intensification.
- Variations in speed and lock-up can be attributed to differences in motor displacement, motor leakage, wheel diameter variance and friction of wheels on the driving surface.
- This valve is a divider only; any attempt to flow backwards through the valve is not advised.
- Dividers with unequal ratios have the higher flow at port 4.
- Below the minimum flow rating there is not enough flow for the valve to modulate. It is effectively a tee. If flow starts at zero and rises, there will be no dividing control until the flow reaches the minimum rating.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ
|How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
|There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
|Can I synchronize 2 cylinders with Sun's divider-combiner?
|No. Synchronizing 2 cylinders hydraulically is a real problem. A real problem is one which has no solution. Our valves with the synchronizing feature don't synchronize, they provide an error correction at each end of the stroke when the leading cylinder bottoms out. Another means of error correction is cross-port reliefs.
|How has Sun solved the hook breaking problem?
|We eliminated the hooks. We have a 1 piece spool.
|Most of Sun's divider-combiners will do better than the published specs, won't they?
|No. Almost all of the error percentage we publish is due to flow forces. Even with a mechanically perfect valve you would see most of the variation.
|Most of the dividing-combining inaccuracies will average out, won't they?
|Absolutely not. The bell curve does not apply here. In the dividing mode the high pressure leg gets the higher flow and in the combining mode the high pressure leg is the lower flow......every time. The inaccuracies are always there and they accumulate. The high pressure leg goes up farther and comes down less, every time.
|What is the synchronizing feature?
|It is a static error correction feature. When any one of the 3 ports of a divider/combiner with the synchronizing feature is blocked, flow is possible between the other 2 ports. This "synchronizing" flow is called out in the performance chart and is pressure compensated.When the leading actuator comes to a stop, the other actuator can catch up at a rate determined by the "synchronizing" flow.When the actuators are stopped mid-stroke (port 3 blocked), oil can flow from the high pressure leg to the low pressure leg at a rate determined by the "synchronizing" flow.The "synchronizing" flow does not exist until one port is blocked.The "synchronizing" feature is most effective on applications where the actuators bottom out at at least one end of their strokes.
|Why am I getting a higher inaccuracy than Sun claims?
|We test every cartridge in 16 modes. High pressure, low pressure, high flow, low flow, divide, and combine.....both legs. What you are probably seeing is the error that occurs as the flow is ramping up to the minimum rated flow. Below the minimum rated flow the valve does not see enough flow to operate correctly.
|What is a priority flow divider?
|It is another name for what we call a priority flow control. We don't call it a divider because it doesn't start dividing until there is enough flow to satisfy the priority flow.
|Why does Sun use 2 slip orifices?
|The divider/combiner is an FSDH XAN. Input flow is 15 gpm (57 L/min.). This example depicts orifices that slip about 3 gpm (12 L/min.) at 3000 psi (210 bar) pressure differential between legs. The slip conditions between the 2 examples are the same...please be assured of this. Each orifice on the right is twice the area of the orifice on the left.The pressure drop through the left example is 200 psi (14 bar), the drop through the right example is 130 psi (9 bar).
|How big do my slip orifices have to be?
|With a typical steered axle application the outside wheels go 15% to 20% farther than the inside wheels. As to how big your slip orifices need to be, there is no correct answer and you are the one that needs to make the compromise. If they are too big you will not have the traction you need at low speeds and if they are too small you will not be able to turn at higher speeds.

Seventeen Dominicans were fined a collective $96,000 yesterday in Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to six poaching related charges.
Remon Sanchez, the 46-year-old captain of the 70-foot Rubi-1 fishing vessel apprehended by Royal Bahamas Defence Force officers on December 14, was fined $50,000 by Magistrate Renee McKay on the charge of "engaging in foreign fishing in the exclusive fishing zone of the Bahamas."
The alternative to the fine is one-year in custody at Her Majesty's Prison, Fox Hill.
As for 53-year-olds Reynaldo Cueva and Jose Cabrerra, who were revealed to have antecedents, they were fined $5,000 each or faced with a year in prison.
The three men, along with countrymen Ruddy cross, 43; Marca Palanco, 31; Rafael Ventura, 48; Ariel Martinez, 24; Nuily Molina, 27; Manuel Ulloa, 25; Eryemio Vasquez, 40; Esteban Berzan, 36; Carlos Acevedo; 31, Humberto Ventura, 28; Luis Santuna, 25; Eddy Aria, 38; and Joan Silberio all appeared before Magistrate McKay on six poaching related offences committed on December 14.
All 17 defendants, of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, pleaded guilty to: engaging in foreign fishing in the exclusive fishing zone of the Bahamas, possession of prohibited apparatus, possession of fresh Nassau Grouper, possession of Nassau Grouper weighing less than three pounds each, possession of clipped (egg-bearing) crawfish, and possession of crawfish measuring less than three and one quarter inches.
On the day in question, RBDF officers arrested the men on a 70-foot fishing vessel, but 33 other poachers who were on smaller skiffs, headed for the Cuban boarder to avoid capture after being spotted fishing illegally in waters near Cay Lobos.
Yesterday, attorney Jomo Campbell made a plea in mitigation on behalf of his clients and the remaining unrepresented defendants.
He said that economic hardship was a shared concern for the defendants and that "some of them, without counsel, admitted their guilt and remorse at the earliest opportunity. More....

text: SALZBURG, Austria — This city is well known as the birthplace of Mozart, the backdrop for the Sound of Music and simply for being a beautiful place. But thanks to worldwide interest in caffeinated energy drinks and Dietrich Mateschitz's desire to share his love of aircraft and race cars, one of this city's newest places to visit is known as Hangar 7. Located at the Salzburg Airport, Hangar 7 could be called the Red Bull toy box. It is where Mateschitz, who co-founded Red Bull in 1987, stores all his coolest toys. It is a massive glass-enclosed hangar complete with a changing collection of airplanes belonging to the Flying Bulls. It's also got an assortment of Formula 1 cars sponsored by Red Bull, along with a handful of racing motorcycles as well. We recently paid a visit to Hangar 7 and got a chance to walk across the apron and peek inside Hangar 8, where a fleet of more than 20 Red Bull aircraft is stored and maintained. Hangar 8's appearance is stunning, and a team of more than 60 people maintains, manages and flies the fleet. Everything is flown regularly. Most perform throughout Europe during the airshow season, and a few are used primarily for business. All summer long a busy flying schedule keeps four full-time pilots and a handful of part-time pilots in the air most of the time. Whether flying a graceful aerobatic routine in the F4U Corsair, flying to a nearby lake in the Cessna Caravan (on amphibious floats) or transporting VIPs to an F1 race in the vintage DC-6, these guys enjoy some of the best aviation jobs in the world. Photo: Red BullChance Vought F4U-4 Corsair The aircraft inside Hangar 7 include several World War II planes alongside modern Formula 1 cars. This Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair once belonged to Flying Bulls chief pilot Sigi Angerer, who flew it in airshows around Europe. One day he took Mateschitz for a ride — you can see the small passenger window behind the cockpit. Mateschitz was hooked and the Flying Bulls team was born. The Corsair is Raimund Riedmann's favorite airplane to fly at the airshows. The Flying Bulls' chief fixed-wing pilot says the former U.S. Navy Fighter is graceful in the air and with 2,400 horsepower on tap, there is plenty of power to put a smile on your face. In front of the Corsair sits the STR3 Formula 1 car raced by Sebastian Vettel when the current world champion drove for Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2008. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comDornier Alpha Jets At the center of Hangar 7's ceiling hangs an unusual meeting room. Building codes require two exits for every room, so in addition to the winding walkway, there is a box with a ladder on the near side for a quick exit. Below are two of the four Dornier Alpha Jets flown by Red Bull pilots. The jets are former military trainers and were bought from the German Air Force. Fully aerobatic and with two seats, they're often used to give the ultimate VIP ride. They sit in front of the Cessna Caravan used for visiting many of the lakes in the region. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comLockheed P-38L Red Bull's Lockheed P-38L is an airplane familiar to many air-racing fans in the United States. For many years this was the airplane raced by Lefty Gardner as "White Lightnin'" at the annual Reno Air Races in Nevada. After an engine problem prompted an unscheduled landing in a farmer's field in 2001, the airplane made its way to Austria. It was restored as it flew as an air racer with sleek cowlings, albeit with polish in place of the white paint job and now flies just about every week all summer long. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comPiper Super Cub Of all the planes in Hangar 7, this is the only one that does not belong to the Flying Bulls. Mateschitz owns this Piper Super Cub. It occupies a special place in the collection, because it is the aircraft in which Mateschitz learned to fly. He still flies it today. Many winters the Super Cub, like most Austrians, dons skis for flying in the snow. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comScuderia Toro Rosso F1 Car Not all the flying happens in the air. This Scuderia Toro Rosso F1 car shows some complex aerodynamic engineering that would make many aircraft engineers wince in the wind tunnel. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comNorth American B-25J Mitchell This North American B-25J Mitchell has been polished to a high shine and features a small leather couch where the nose guns once were. Surrounded by plexiglas, the nose now offers a fantastic place to watch the world go by. The plane sits next to the RB5 race car Vettel drove to second place in the F1 drivers' championship in 2009. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comPilatus PC-6 Porter Hangar 8 is a busy, busy place. A large team of mechanics is always working on several aircraft. One day they might be replacing the engine on the Pilatus PC-6 Porter used to carry the Red Bull skydivers (pictured above). The next day they might be changing the oil in the P-38. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comExtra 300 In addition to the fleet of Flying Bulls aircraft, the crew also works on some aircraft flown in the Red Bull Air Race series. Here is the two-seat Extra 300 used for demonstration flights, stripped of its bodywork for off-season maintenance. The Edge 540 of 2008 Red Bull Air Race champion Hannes Arch is also tucked away in a corner of Hangar 8. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comDouglas DC-6 The Flying Bulls' Douglas DC-6 originally was delivered to former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito. After a long life spent flying around the globe, the airplane was restored to like-new condition and includes an interior to rival those of any business jet. The vintage four-prop plane is flown weekly during the summer, and often shuttles VIPs to F1 races throughout Europe. It often garners far more attention upon arrival than the jets, says chief fixed-wing pilot Raimund Riedmann. "When we are going to Formula 1 events" Riedmann says, "there are all those BBJs [Boeing Business Jets] and Gulfstreams coming in, and we are coming in with this." A definite lesson on how to arrive in style. Riedmann says this is his other favorite to fly in addition to the Corsair. The teamwork required with a pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer is like stepping back in time, "it's fun working as a team." Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comBell TAH-1F Cobra Chief rotary-wing pilot Siegried Schwarz spent more than 20 years flying as a mountain rescue pilot in Austria. Today he flies in airshows for the Flying Bulls. Mateschitz once asked Schwarz what kind of helicopter he wished was in the hangar. Schwarz responded that it would be great to fly a Bell Cobra in front of the crowds. It wasn't long before Mateschitz added this Bell TAH-1F Cobra to the stable. In addition to the Cobra, Schwarz often flies the aerobatic Bo105 helicopter at airshows. As one of the few aerobatic helicopter pilots in the world, Schwarz occasionally gives a lesson or two to some other Red Bull employees, including world rally champion Sebastien Loeb. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comBede BD-5 The latest addition to the Flying Bulls, and the smallest. The tiny jet-powered Bede BD-5 arrived just before Christmas. Sitting with its wings removed, the airplane is currently undergoing a complete overhaul before being prepared for this summer's flying season. Pilot Raimund Riedmann recently returned from Arizona, where he was getting checked out in the single-seater. He says the plane's diminutive size makes it a hoot to fly, and it feels much faster than it actually is. "Coming in with 250 knots, it's so small it looks like flying near Mach 1 or something," he says. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.comFalcon Business Jet Not all the planes are flown purely for fun. This Falcon business jet carries Red Bull execs and VIPs around the world. With a range of more than 4,000 miles, the DC-6 behind it can fly just as far as the Falcon but takes twice as long to get there. Photo: Jason Paur/Wired.com

The Russian regulator has skipped over all that auction nonsense to award 4G licences to the four network operators, denying licences to three others, but then Russia has had 4G for years.
The state-owned Rostelecom got one licence, surprising no one, and the other three went to Russia's Big Three mobe operators – MTS, Vimpelcom and MegaFon. That decision, reported by Reuters, squeezed out Tele2, TTK and Summa Telecom, which will have to sub-let if they want to complete. The winners don't have to pay anything, but they do have to promise to pile 15 billion Russian rubles ($457.42m, £296.2m) into network infrastructure every year until 2019.
Russia's existing 4G network is run by 4G operator Yota, and was built using the now-dying WiMAX standard, but it is in the process of converting to LTE – with 300,000 Muscovites already using the international 4G standard. That network is already being sub-let to MegaFon and Rostelecom, but it operates in the less-popular 2.3, 2.5 & 3.5GHz bands, making handsets less compatible and equipment more expensive.
The new licences are in the 800MHz band, which is standardised for LTE across Europe, having been cleared of analogue TV transmissions. The lower frequency offers better range and building penetration. Popular thought is that it works best when combined with a higher frequency for dense networks in urban areas.
In the UK we have our own version of Yota in the form of UK Broadband, which has 4G-LTE networks running in Swindon and Southwark at 3.5GHz, though it doesn't have any customers or sub-licensees just yet, so it isn't quite like Yota in that respect.
But UK Broadband will have more time to make its mark, as Ofcom isn't likely to start handing out free radio spectrum any time soon. Our own regulator is still drafting version three of the auction rules, and if they escape legal challenge, then the UK's 800MHz will go on the block early next year... but that's still a big "if". ®

Louise Penny's mystery series set in the tiny Quebec village of Three Pines, features Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. This is the second instalment and though it is not essential to read the books in order, I am doing that, because it has been recommended. The characters do develop throughout the series and being able to follow that is as entertaining as solving the murder mysteries. I enjoyed this one more that the first (Still Life), only because I was returning to this village and to these characters and that familiarity added pleasure to the reading for me. Penny's website is very beautifully done, has some interesting information about the inspiration for the village and the inspector, and even has a FAQ section. Maybe you love FAQ sections as much as I do!
It's early days for me with this series. I'm looking forward to more. I've heard the series just gets better and better and has met with huge worldwide success. I will share this quote from the author because it demonstrates how her mysteries are a literary cut above in my opinion. As she says herself in the candid interview I've included below with CBCs Wendy Mesley, the books are not about murder, they have murder in them.
"My books are about terror. That brooding terror curled deep down inside us. But more than that, more than murder, more than all the rancid emotions and actions, my books are about goodness. And kindness. About choice. About friendship and belonging. And love. Enduring love. If you take only one thing away form any of my books I'd like it to be this: Goodness exists."

Are You Ready for Some (Fantasy) Football?
By Family Features
Are you a diehard football junkie who's been waiting for kickoff since the Patriots raised the Vince Lombardi trophy in February? Do you prefer just catching the highlights? Either way, Yahoo Sports, one of the leaders in fantasy sports, offers a football fantasy league to fit your Sunday schedule.
Whether joining or creating your own full-season fantasy football leagues or competing in Yahoo Sports' Daily Fantasy, playing has never been easier. Players can draft on the go, utilize pre-draft rankings, set winning lineups and more using Yahoo Sports Fantasy app.
Private cash leagues
With newly launched private cash leagues, commissioners will have the power to set the amount players owe for league dues and what the final payout will be at the end of the year. Yahoo will not take a transaction fee. Players can use credit card, Paypal or their Fantasy Wallet to pay their dues easily and seamlessly. No waiting, no delay – just your reward for dominating your league. Already created a league? No worries, just head to the commissioner tools and create a Cash League contest for your league.
Games when you want them
With Yahoo Sports' new Daily Fantasy, users pick a team of players to compete against each other based on real-life statistics in real-life contests, just like in traditional leagues. However, they last just one week or one day. Daily Fantasy allows users to challenge friends or win big in guaranteed contests. After setting their lineup, players can then watch their teams compete in real time online or via the Yahoo Fantasy app for iPhone.
Ask the expert
Whether you're a fantasy fanatic or a rookie still learning the game, everyone can use some expert advice when it comes to putting together a team the rest of your league will envy. Fantasy expert Brad Evans has obsessed about his fantasy teams since the days when Jeff George had value. As the Yahoo Fantasy Sports resident baseball, football and "bracketology" expert, Evans also offers up pointers on the two-time Emmy-nominated webcast "Fantasy Football Live," which is entering in its 10th season on Yahoo Sports and NBC Sports Network, each NFL Sunday.
Evans offers a pair of draft tips that could help lead your team to fantasy gridiron greatness:
"It goes against fantasy 'tradition,' but don't be afraid to grab a QB in the first round if someone like Aaron Rogers or Andrew Luck is sitting there late," Evans said. "For some sleeper picks this year, keep an eye on running back Danny Woodhead out of San Diego or wide receivers Stevie Johnson and Eddie Royal."
To get in on the action, check out Yahoo Fantasy Football at football.fantasysports.yahoo.com on your browser or download the Fantasy Sports App from the App Store.

Are you currently having the same problems with your TiVo connection as I'm experiencing?
I live on the South Coast of NSW, about 160 kliks from Sydney.
A month ago my TiVo EPG started running out.
I did a restart. It didn't help. Then I noticed some info on the TiVo troubleshooting guide where you hold down a sequence of the remotes buttons. This seemed to fix the EPG.
Then a week ago I noticed the EPG was again not updating with only 2 days of the EPG left.
I went through the restart set up guide again. Now it gets to "TiVo has found a connection" but keeps stopping at (failed while configuring) with a message of Unrecoverable Error N18.
The trouble shooting guide has info about N18. Alluding that router port problems maybe causing N18 by the ISP blocking ports and Firewalls blocking connection.
As instructed I turned off my Windows Defender Firewall but it did sod all to fix the problem, and of course I straight away got told my PC was in mortal danger of enemy attack by nasty murderous zombie virus stuff if I didn't turn the Firewall back on!
I don't understand this ''port'' stuff and can't even find out how to find those ''maybe'' blocked port things.
On the TiVo trouble shooting guide it also says NOT to try and restart the Set Up Guide because the box will not let you watch your recorded programs. Which is what has happened.........Now I can't watch Tivo TV, or any of my recorded stuff.
I'm bloody well 'n' truly pissed off. Especially after I tried ringing TiVo's Aussie franchise called Hybrid TV Services for help. Guess what folks,,,they've disconnected their only known phone line to their TiVo Community.
Rotten Channel 7, who started all of the TiVo problems in Australia still gives out Hybrid's disconnected number of (02)89861700 if you ring their station for help. What a load of helpless useless crap!
So, in December 2016, in this supposedly mind expanding, inspiringly innovative, techy wonder world, the only support for TiVo problems in Australia is a very creaky old form of excruciatingly slow back and forth email system of an undetermined number of days. And it's too bloody bad if you want some friggin help at the weekend.
If our TiVo Network is gunna finally cark it completely at least these hidey heads at Hybrid should step up to the stump and give us the grist of things ahead.
I'm thinking about getting a Beyonwiz T4. It's claimed by some punters that the T4 has got a comparable Slow Motion Feature that's as good as TiVo.
I've enjoyed TiVo's brilliant top class seamlessly flowing Slow Motion feature for 8 years.
I naively thought all makes of PVR would have this fantastic function as has been told to me repeatedly by many retailers of PVR's.
But, troofbeknown, over the past few years I've had to take back 4 well known PVR's for refunds.
Namely, Humax, Panasonic, LG & Topfield.
Gottem home. Settem up. And each one of them only had a terrible jerky, frame, pause, press again to next frame etc,,etc,, Pure load of rubbish.
Definitely not Slow Motion
I started asking all retail floories to connect up their PVR's to a TV. Then I'd record and watch the Slow Motion replay in store with them. Before set up they'd usually quote from the PVR Guide and nearly always claim the PVR they're trying to flog has as good a Slow Motion as what I'd tell them I've got with TiVo.
And then they've all ended up looking sheepish and stupid because none of the PVR's had proper slow motion.
I've not been hunting up PVR's for over a year. But although I've left tons of instructions with every retailer in my part of the known universe, that I'd buy any new PVR models, whatever the price, with a good Slow Motion function, not one shop has called or emailed me.
Let me know about any TiVo connection bizz problems that could be locally related that ya know about.
Plus I'd dig to know of any real experience you've got about the Beyonwiz T4. Especially if you've seen its Slow Motion in action and how it stacks up alongside TiVo.
Fanx big heaps for your attention.

We're getting up awfully early at my house these days. Between a new puppy and a lot of work to do and a delightful houseguest, we are usually deep into the swing of the workday by about 7 AM.
This morning, that meant Lainey and I discussing Courteney and David Arquette at length, already. And it hasn't been sitting well with me all day.
When I heard the kinds of things they were talking about on air at Howard Stern yesterday - that they were airing all their dirty laundry (paraphrased: she couldn't talk to him about her dad dying because all he wanted to do was have sex. He protested that he was 'good that time' and she relented), I was like "since when did it become 'All Access with the Arquettes"?
Once she shows up, Howard jumps immediately into Courteney and David's relationship issues. They discuss whether she is just dragging her feet in admitting the relationship is over. David thinks yes, she seems surprised. (If your partner is the one who wants it over, wouldn't you give them all the space and time in the word to figure it out? Or would you pull the plug while they dithered?) She says they 'were best friends yesterday'.
What are these two doing here? They talk, they seem open, they are clearly airing their laundry for everyone – so there are a few options here. Either they both wanted to be in a place where they could talk with a moderator (which Howard Stern is surprisingly good at being), or it was a previously agreed-upon publicity commitment (which is usually pretty easy to wiggle out of) or she actually heard him on the air and was nearby enough to walk in and talk about her life.
…or it's all a publicity stunt. They have a movie opening today, of course.
It makes me uncomfortable. Maybe it's just that, as one of the highest-paid television actresses of all time, she was hard to access for awhile. There was an elitism about her that seemed, based on her success, earned.
We clamor and want access to celebrity lives – but this is too much and too raw for me. Am I, then, a hypocrite? Do I want it but only if it's pretty? Or am I right in thinking that something like this should always, always be kept behind closed doors? What benefit is it to give this to your fans?

This week we reviewed Gran Turismo 5, we talked about why the menus are so annoying, we shared the love for inexpensive HDMI cables, and we looked at the sales numbers of Microsoft's Kinect.
Oh, and we talked to some dude named John Carmack about gaming on the iPhone. You might heard of him. This was an interesting week in gaming stories, so let's just get to it.
From behind, late in the race: a racing fan reviews Gran Turismo 5: After six years, a mountain of hype, and strong competition from the Forza Games, the Gran Turismo series returns with an entry that isn't an offshoot or for-pay demo. The problem is that for everything it does well, another aspect is lacking. Our full review.
Primal Rage: a conversation with Carmack, and a look at id's latest: Ars talks with id's John Carmack about the future of mobile gaming, Android vs. iOS, the iPad vs. the consoles, and mobile multiplayer. We also take a look at id's latest offering for the iPad: the visually stunning Rage.
The failure of Gran Turismo 5: the power of menus and UI: Gran Turismo 5 did a lot right with the actual gameplay, but getting to the races is frustrating and needlessly complicated. Developers and publishers need to remember that the experience of using the game should be as good as playing the game.
Inexpensive HDMI cables are a right, not a privilege: The markup on HDMI cables at brick-and-mortar stores is close to criminal. Do yourself and your family a favor and stock up ahead of time, save the day on Christmas morning, and bask in the glory of a job well done.
Black Ops, Halo Reach: busting the myths (video): A group of gamers is testing online myths in some popular multiplayer games, and you'll be surprised by what is possible in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It's time to practice your skills at jumping over rocket-propelled grenades.
Judge in Xbox modding trial berates prosecution, halts trial: The first trial over Xbox modding is underway in Los Angeles—or at least it was. The federal judge presiding over the courtroom expressed his "serious concerns" over the government's case and has put the proceedings on hold. Prosecutors ultimately dismissed the case.
OnLive begins all you can eat, $10 subscription: Starting January 15 you'll be able to subscribe to OnLive on a month-to-month basis, paying $9.99 per month to play all the games for as long as you'd like.
The walking zeds: Ars reviews Dead Nation on the PS3: Dead Nation may not push top-down, twin-stick games ahead in any meaningful way, but it rewards planning and economy of movement, and the weapons you'll buy, upgrade, and put to use against the zombie hordes are all satisfying.
Kinect sells 2.5M in 25 days, consumers are the controller: Microsoft has a hit on its hands: the Kinect has already sold 2.5M units worldwide. That's not a matter of how many units have shipped, but how many are actually in the hands of gamers. Impressive.
Zuma Blitz: the best microtransactions are ones you can ignore: PopCap takes one of its most popular properties, pares it down to one-minute matches, and turns it into a weekly competition. You can buy your way to the top slightly faster, but the microtransactions are also easily avoided.

Each year, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University hosts a conference that explores the role of gender in a significant aspect of the human experience. This year's conference is titled "Crossing Borders: Immigration and Gender in the Americas."
Academics, practitioners, and artists from across all fields will investigate changing immigration trends and examine how gender, race, and social class shape the experience of immigrants and their children in the Americas.
Join the conversation on Twitter: www.twitter.com/RadInstitute #borders2013 #immigration
The conference will begin on Thursday evening with a performance by Quetzal, a bilingual rock band from East Los Angeles whose songs tell the social, cultural, political, and musical stories of people in struggle. The band's most recent album, Imaginaries, a Smithsonian Folkways Recording, won a 2013 Grammy Award. Quetzal has deep ties to life in the barrio and has a strong feminist stance and commitment to social activism. Between sets, lead singer Martha Gonzalez will participate in a dialogue with a group of scholars and critics to contextualize the performance with the themes of the conference.
Concert and Panel Discussion
Moderator: Ilan Stavans, Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture, Amherst College
Frances R. Aparicio, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Director of the Latina and Latino Studies Program, Northwestern University
- Martha Gonzalez, Lead Singer, Quetzal and PhD Candidate, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, University of Washington
- George Lipsitz, Professor, Department of Black Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
The daylong program considers ways in which gendered opportunities and restrictions lead to migration; how immigration laws in the United States are shaped by gendered assumptions and have differential consequences for men and women; and how the interaction of race, gender, and social class shape future generations.
Welcome Remarks
- Lizabeth Cohen, Dean, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies, Department of History, Harvard University
- Mary C. Waters, Conference Chair, M. E. Zukerman Professor of Sociology, Department of Sociology, Harvard University
Opening Speaker

- Rubén Rumbaut, Professor of Sociology, School of Social Sciences University of California, Irvine
Discussion and Q&A with Sonia Nazario and Rubén Rumbaut
- Moderator: Hirokazu Yoshikawa, Walter H. Gale Professor of Education and Academic Dean, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Panel: The Gendering of International Migration
This panel examines how the causes and consequences of international migration reflect the different experiences of women and men, and how they have changed over time. It will consider questions about the gender distribution of international migrants, how men and women maintain ties transnationally, and how people change when the cultural expectations of sending and receiving countries clash.
- Moderator: Margarita Alegria, Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
- Donna R. Gabaccia, Rudolph J. Vecoli Chair of Immigration History and Director, Immigration History Research Center, University of Minnesota

About the Conference Poster Photograph
This photograph was taken by Linda Schaefer in 1988 in Tijuana. At the time, she was a photojournalist covering the presidential campaigns and working on a project called "The Face of America." She was documenting what the nation looked like during a presidential campaign, starting in Iowa and ending in California; it involved photographing not only the candidates, but also the people she saw across America. Her work was exhibited at the Democratic and Republican political conventions and shown on CNN.
When Schaefer was traveling with a campaign in Southern California, she decided that just across the border there were "faces of America" to see and share. She walked into Mexico through a gap in a barbed-wire fence where many people were walking back and forth. The community she encountered was a small village, primarily made up of shacks. Schaefer spent most of her time outside one of the small homes and watched the women washing clothes and hanging them to dry. A family lived in the home, but only women were there at the time. The photograph selected for "Crossing Borders" was taken outside that shack in Tijuana.

What do these recently revealed Iron Man 3 Lego sets offer us, besides a few spoilers for the movie? Well, they confirm that Tony's armor is definitely going to reach Mark 42. They also indicate that the Mandarin personally leads the assault on Tony's Malibu Dream House. They prove without a doubt that when you Lego-cize Sir Ben Kingsley's Mandarin, he looks almost exactly like the mad Russian monk Rasputin. And last but certainly not least, they reveal Mandarin appears to own a zamboni that shoots fireballs. Transforming a noble zamboni into an instrument of destruction? Now we know he's evil.

Guideline on Federal and UAB Requirements for the Protection of Human Research Participants: Ethical and Legal Framework for Human Research Protections at UAB
Proper attention to the protection of human research participants1 is of vital importance to UAB's clinical research activities. Ethical considerations form the foundation for protecting participants, and today regulatory law embodies the ethical review procedures for the vast majority of medical and behavioral research in the United States. This summary is intended to provide investigators with a synoptic overview of the ethical and legal approach to human research participant protections at UAB. Since federal regulation dominates the research landscape in this area, much of the material has general applicability.
A significant advance in the application of ethics to human research was the development of specific codes of ethics for research. The first and most widely known of these codes is the Nuremberg Code, which was published in 1947 following the trial of Nazi physicians for human research-related atrocities. Subsequently, other ethical codes for human research protections were developed such as the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, and the International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects.
For its human research activities, UAB applies the ethical principles published in the Belmont Report, "Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research," authored by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. The Belmont Report provides the ethical basis for the United States' federal regulations pertaining to the protection of human research participants. The Declaration of Helsinki published by the World Health Organization has been adopted by many nations outside of the United States, and investigators doing international research at UAB should inquire about what ethical principles apply in the country where their studies are taking place.
The Belmont Report contains three basic principles:
Respect for humans refers to a competent individual's prerogative to make a knowing and voluntary decision to participate in human research without the threat of undue influence or coercion. Frequently termed the principle of autonomy, this principle demands that participants give informed consent. Beneficence refers to the concept of overall benefit to the participant. Whether or not beneficence is attained is determined by weighing both the potential absolute benefits and harms to the participants. Potential harm to research participants should always be minimized and, secondarily, benefits maximized. Generally, individual rights may not be sacrificed to achieve an overall societal good. The third principle, justice, refers to fairness. In the context of human research participation, this is frequently determined by whether the benefits to be gained from the research justify the burdens placed on the individuals studied. A recent example involving the principle of justice centered about the unfairness created by testing of AIDS drugs in African countries in which there was no possibility for the population to benefit from treatment with the drugs after experimentation was completed.
Federal agencies have addressed human protections for research under their jurisdiction by promulgating regulations using federal administrative law. A federal regulation has the force and effect of law and when valid may preempt state laws. The major federal regulations pertaining to human research protections are the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (The Common Rule, 45 CFR 46 Subpart A) adopted by 17 federal agencies, the Supplemental Protections for Pregnant Women and Fetuses, Prisoners, and Children promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations on human subject protections, and the recently promulgated Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy regulations administered by the Office for Civil Rights in DHHS. In most instances, more than one set of these regulations apply to a research protocol; when this is the case, each set of regulations must be satisfied independently of each other.
To receive research funding from the DHHS, each institution must hold an assurance with DHHS to abide by its regulations for human research protections. The same requirement for agency assurance holds for research sponsored by other federal agencies that have adopted the Common Rule. UAB holds a federalwide assurance which is valid for federally funded research sponsored by any of the 17 agencies requiring an assurance. UAB's federalwide assurance is the institution's written, binding commitment filed with the federal government that promises to comply with applicable regulations governing human subjects research and states the procedures which must be utilized to achieve compliance. Through its federalwide assurance, UAB applies the DHHS regulations for human research protections (45 CFR 46 Subparts A, B, C, D) to all applicable human research activities regardless of the source of funding for a study. In addition, UAB must satisfy the applicable FDA regulations on human subject protections and HIPAA regulations.
Finally, state law controls the legal age for consent. In Alabama, the age of majority is 19 years; therefore, an 18-year-old does not hold adult status and cannot be legally bound without parental consent. This differs from most states where the age of majority is 18 years. Confusion sometimes arises because in Alabama several exceptions exist that allow individuals under 19 to consent to medical treatment. For instance, Alabama statute §22-8-4 states that any minor who is 14 years of age or older may give effective consent to any legally authorized medical, dental, health, or mental health services for himself or herself, and the consent of no other person shall be necessary. This statute has not been applied to medical research activities per se even though it may apply to standard medical procedures within the context of a research protocol. Because of Alabama's age of majority, UAB review of research protocols including 18-year-olds as eligible enrollees utilize DHHS and FDA rules for additional protections in children.
Public and federal emphasis on human research protections will likely intensify in the future, as evidenced by increased federal oversight, current enthusiasm for accreditation for human research protection programs, and the public notoriety generated by the recent death of a teenage participant in a gene therapy trial. Having a good understanding of the overall framework for human subjects protection will assist stakeholders in the clinical research enterprise to meet their responsibilities in this area.
1 The terms participant and subject are use interchangeably in this guideline.

Avoiding Losses/taking Risks: Prospect Theory and International Conflict
University of Michigan Press, 1994 - 165 sidor
This volume is a comprehensive examination of the benefits and potential pitfalls of employing prospect theory---a leading alternative to expected utility as a theory of decision under risk---to understand and explain political behavior. The collection brings together both theoretical and empirical studies, thus grounding the conclusions about prospect theory's potential for enriching political analyses in an assessment of its performance in explaining actual cases.
The theoretical chapters provide an overview of the main hypotheses of prospect theory: people frame risk-taking decisions around a reference point, they tend to accept greater risk to prevent losses than to make gains, and they often perceive the devastation of a loss as greater than the benefit of a gain. The three case studies---Roosevelt's decision-making during the Munich crisis of 1938, Carter's April 1980 decision to rescue the American hostages in Iran, and Soviet behavior toward Syria in 1966-67---generally support these hypotheses. Nevertheless, the authors are frank about potentially difficult conceptual and methodological problems, making explicit reference to alternative explanations, such as the rational actor model, which posits the maximization of expected value.
Contributors to the volume include Jack Levy, Robert Jervis, Barbara Farnham, Rose McDermott, Audrey McInerney, and Eldar Shafir.

PITTSFIELD — The heart of the Pittsfield Municipal Airport $22.5 million expansion gets under way today and should wrap up by Friday, airport officials have said.
Starting this morning, large dump trucks will be hauling tons of asphalt to the air field so construction workers can pave the main runway extension and other areas totaling 1,450 feet, according to airport manager Mark Germanowski.
"We expect 60 to 100 truck trips a day on South Mountain Road," Germanowski said. "If the weather is good for all five days, we should complete the paving by the end of the week.
Aside from a slight chance of showers or an isolated thunderstorm today and Tuesday, forecasters predict dry weather most of theweek.
The runway paving is one of the last major aspects of the nearly two-year-old project Germanowski has said should be "substantially completed" by Dec. 1.
The other significant items left to finish include moving a roughly 2,100-foot section of South Mountain Road, between the new and former entrances to Wild Acres Park, to the north. Last August, the city blocked off that part of South Mountain to through traffic.
"The whole road realignment has been graded, but utility work still needs to be done before we can complete the new section," said Germanowski.
The road's relocation has allowed the 5,000-foot main runway to be extended north by 790 feet. In addition, another 1,000-foot unpaved safety area is being installed on each end of the runway.
As for South Mountain Road, it will remain closed to through traffic until about Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, Ward 5 Councilor Jonathan Lothrop has looked into several residents' complaints that the airport expansion has caused damage to their homes on Barker Road. During a neighborhood meeting three weeks ago, they claimed the cracks in their foundations were due to water run off from the construction site. The homeowners called on the contractor and the city to seriously address their concerns.
Lothrop, whose ward includes the airport, says he's inspected some of the homes and found water damage has occurred, but its unclear if the airport project is the culprit.
He cited another possible contributing factor to the poor drainage issue.
"I'm concerned about water running from Barker Road into [the homeowners'] yards," Lothrop said. "I've taken some photos, along with the people's concerns, and passed them on to City Hall."
Residents at the July 26 meeting were also irate they weren't notified the project's general contractor was working on July 4th. The airport neighbors said the noise from the construction ruined their outdoorplans for the holiday. German owski said work will be halted for the Labor Day holiday in two weeks.
"If something out of the ordinary is going to happen again that will be an adverse impact, we will let people know about it," he said.
One immediate positive impact from the airport expansion, according to Lothrop, is the new pavilion area under construction at Wild Acres Park.
"Part of the replication agreement was construction ofa new facility to replace the old one that was removed," he said.
The first half of the project involved the replication of 5.7 acres of wetlands and a body of water encompassing one-tenth of an acre. Approximately 120 acres of trees were also removed because the federal Aviation Administration considered them an air traffic obstruction.
The leveled landscape created a visual void that shocked those living at the airport. Airport officials have vowed to plant new, lowgrowth vegetation, but it could take several years for the plantings to fully mature.

Now approaching the half-century mark, Peter Walker's career encompasses learning from and working with such legends of the profession as Lawrence Halprin, FASLA, Stanley White, Dan Kiley, and Hideo Sasaki, FASLA. In addition to winning international acclaim for his designs, he has been a teacher and author. Most recently, Walker took center stage in the design world by partnering with architect Michael Arad to win the commission for the World Trade Center Memorial, arguably the most publicly scrutinized and emotionally charged design competition ever held. New Yorker columnist Paul Goldberger referred to him as the "mentor" in the winning partnership, while Washington Post design critic Benjamin Forgey described the complex arrangement of trees as "just the sort of sophisticated intrigue Walker has perfected in his five decade career."
Read the nomination letter by Barry W. Starke, FASLA, and endorsements by Linda Jewell, FASLA, Elizabeth K. Meyer, FASLA, Kevin M. Rampe, and Yoshio Taniguchi.

Overcoming the blues for older people with illnesses
A study exploring the treatment of depression in older people with a range of health problems is being undertaken by the University of Sydney.
Professor Louise Sharpe, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Sydney is examining the role of late onset depression in Australian adults over 65 years, with funding support from beyondblue and is in the early stages of recruiting patients.
"Developing depression is not a normal part of ageing and while the links between deteriorating health and depression are clear, this study will be one of the first in the world to compare different treatments for depression in older adults with one or more chronic health conditions," Professor Sharpe said.
"Our elderly citizens deserve this research so we can get a much better understanding of the best treatment options for depression in later life.
"We also need to take pressure off an overloaded health system."
Australia's population is ageing, leading increasingly to more people living with one or more chronic health problems. Research reports that 83 per cent of individuals over the age of 75 years have more than one health problem.
Although many older people consider low mood as a by-product of getting older, developing depression is not a normal part of ageing. Research shows that the presence of health problems in this age group is associated with poorer psychological health.
Chronic health problems also lead to a greater risk of developing clinical depression, requiring professional medical intervention.
"Despite the relationship between health and depression being well established and the large numbers of older people with multiple health problems, most of the research trials have not looked at individuals with more than one condition," Professor Sharpe said.
"There are a number of effective therapies for older people suffering from low mood and the study will compare two approaches which have proven to be highly effective, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and problem solving therapy."
CBT focuses on changing unhelpful beliefs and increasing activity. Problem solving therapy focuses on dealing with the problems associated with daily life and increasing goal-directed activity.
"The difference between the two is that CBT focuses specifically on people's beliefs, while problem-solving tries to teach people skills in identifying and solving common problems," Professor Sharpe said.
Until now these treatments have not been compared to each other, nor have they included participants in primary care with more than one chronic illness.
The research trial (named PROMISE-D) is currently recruiting participants and requires the support of general practitioners who are willing to have their patients aged over 65 years screened for depression.
Doctors or individuals interested in taking part in the trial can contact the researchers or call 9351 4257.
